Hello, friends! I've missed you! I did not intend to stay away so long. The truth is, I've been having some non covid-19 health issues for a while now. I needed to make time to take care of things. Thank God I am much improved! I am looking forward to seeing what you guys have been up to! Now I'm off to catch up with almost 50 pages!!! I have been missing out on a lot. Off to start catching up again. This might take a couple days. :sweatdrop::giggle:
 
You guys, I totally suck :crybaby:I fell of the wagon:tdown:... I bough a novelty strap.... the Tattoo dreamer strap in burgundy, my only consolation is that it was on my wish list( I love the Coachxchelsea champlain line , however I only got into coach until Jan this year so I missed the collection, and my only exception was if by any chance any of this items became available in the Canadian pre-loved market for cheap) and I sold an item to get it, as to feel that I didn't spend extra money.
Also good news , the rogue Keith Haring that I had in my account in back order ( prior to going on my ban) has been cancelled , so my guilt is less. I am hoping to sell one more item as to appease my guilt from my purchases from last month, I have someone interested so hopefully the sale goes through. Other than that my "shoppiness" ban is going fairly well, today my big splurge was buying coffee for my household ( my local pharmacy had the starbucks bags on sale for $2.99 cad, got 3 for our house ) and hair ties and bobby pins for my girls; when I went to pay there were in a bigger clearence and i end up spending 3 bucks, I swear to God that bobby pins and hair ties live in the same realm as the lost socks, they always seem to go missing.:whut:
ps. I am on my laptop and now i know how you guys put the awesome emojis..love me the emojis hahahahahaahaha

Hi, I am new to the thread, but I just wanna wish you a speed recovery, hope you feel completely better soon :heart:
 
Awe, you two sound like lovebirds! :heart:
:lol: Not really. We've been married for almost 20 yrs. He's a great hubby, though. :hbeat:


That’s so sweet of your DH (I wish mine would do that). In fact, I kinda had something opposite happened yesterday. I popped into his office to talk about my lack of privacy these days and he said ”like how I was fine by myself until you walked in?”. Hope he was just kidding.

Congrats on your sale last week. So regarding what you said about transferring your sales earnings to your account but you want your DH to know it’s yours? This is where I almost wish I have a separate account on the side for bags. I don’t want to have to remind DH that I have $X from a purse sale and $X from the law/parents for my BD, etc. He won’t “cheat” :lol: me out of this money but I feel like he will balk at my spending this amount. In fact, he kinda made some snide comment about me sizing up the next bag I will buy (I am thinking, for Pete’s sake, I haven’t bought a bag since Oct and also since Mother’s Day, my anniversary and BD. I’ve been a (ban) angel :lol:)
:lol: I think we are all feeling the lack of privacy these days. Being at home together24/7 is harder than it seems.
Today I transferred the $$ to our bank account and immediately made a payment to my cc. That way if DH says anything, it's a done deal. :biggrin: (Yes, I did buy something. :angel:) You HAVE been a ban angel! Here's hoping you don't have to hear anything when you are ready to spend YOUR $$$ ;)

Hi C — missed you, nice to see you back :smile:. Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself and are feeling better. Please take care :smile:. And looking forward to catching up with you and seeing your newbie :)
 
This is so funny! That's cute that he missed you. Is that new behavior? I have enjoyed reading everyone's stories about this topic. Hopefully it will be a fun story to tell about the year 2020 when life is back to normal.

Yes, he's become more clingy with staying at home. And I have become more of a hermit. I am that introvert who needs her space + peace and quiet. Before the pandemic started, I would often come home before picking up DS at school just so I could be alone at home. That luxury is gone. Oh well, like DH says, soon we will be able to look back at this time and say, remember when...?
 
It’s ok — no one ever said being on a ban is easy. We all fall off the wagon or take a swim off ban island :lol: from time to time. As long as you come back to ban island. Sounds like you got a nice item from your wishlist — plus bonus points for selling an item to fund it :). Also good for your ban that the KH Rogue got cancelled.

I'm glad to hear you are much improved! You've been missed around here. Looking forward to see what you bought.
 
Hello all.... I wanted to share a pic of a good find to fill a gap in my collection. I have been mostly good as I am happy with what I have, and trying to keep my collection close to what it is now. My biggest dilemma had been pondering the pollen Cassie for months now to get a yellow-ish color back into my collection. But it just never seemed to work out and when I do reconsider it, it is never on sale. Plus I don't really want another Cassie unless it just screams, buy me! (it would have to be a great new color).

So another color on the list in that realm was butterscotch, but they are hard to find and in the Dinky, I think it only came in a 24. Well, the solution was goldenrod--it is somewhat similar to the butterscotch tone, also fills the yellow void, and I found a great one in nwt condition. Here it is, and I really like it. A good compromise in a style I will definitely use.

Now, to stay away from the sale sites and remember my goal to take a break!

Very pretty! Congrats! I think you still need something in a pretty yellow. This is more like a lovely brown/tan to me. (Did you see how I gave you permission to get something else? :graucho: :lol:)
